Choose whether hover tooltips stay visible

A browser can show a native tooltip when someone hovers over an element with a title attribute. Custom Title Tooltip is the PRO edition for WordPress sites that want to retain hover tooltips and configure their appearance.

Compare the two tooltip approaches

The related free add-on, Hide Titles On Hover, removes native browser tooltips by replacing title attributes with aria-label attributes. This preserves a label for screen readers while removing the hover tooltip. Custom Title Tooltip takes the tooltip-retaining approach and includes controls for its presentation. The choice depends on whether a site wants hover tooltips removed or kept with adjustable styling.

Set the visual details

Custom Title Tooltip settings let you configure tooltip colors, font size, radius, and position. Designers can adjust the hover treatment to fit the website’s theme, while accessibility-conscious developers can consider its presentation alongside how supporting information reaches visitors.

Configure the extension in WordPress

Install and activate Custom Title Tooltip, open it from the WordPress admin menu, adjust the available style settings, and save. The saved configuration is used for the site’s hover tooltips.
